You don’t need a business degree, startup capital, or a warehouse full of inventory to make money in 2024.
In fact, some of the most successful online entrepreneurs today started with nothing but a phone and Wi-Fi.
Here are the top zero-cost side hustles anyone can start — even if you’re brand new to the online space.
Top Zero-Cost Side Hustles, you'll learn:
Affiliate Marketing
Freelance Writing
Print on Demand
YouTube Automation (Faceless Channel)
Digital Product Creation
Affiliate marketing is one of the simplest, lowest-risk ways to earn online.
You recommend a product or service.
When someone buys through your link, you earn a commission.
No inventory
No shipping
No customer support
Where to start:
→ Sign up for free affiliate programs like Systeme.io, OLSP Academy, or Legendary Marketer
→ Use free tools to build a basic funnel
→ Drive traffic using TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Pinterest
If you can write clearly (not perfectly), you can get paid.
Start with:
Blog writing
Email copywriting
Product descriptions
Sites like Fiverr, Upwork, and Contra allow you to list your skills — for free.
💡 Pro Tip: Use ChatGPT to draft faster, then add your personal touch.
Want to sell t-shirts, mugs, or phone cases with your own designs?
You can — without ever touching the product.
Print-on-demand platforms like Printful, Printify, or Gelato let you:
Upload a design
Sell through Shopify, Etsy, or even TikTok
Only pay when you make a sale
Start free, use Canva for your designs, and promote using short-form video.
Don’t want to be on camera? No problem.
With YouTube automation, you can:
Write scripts (or use ChatGPT)
Create B-roll videos with stock footage or screen recordings
Use AI voiceover tools (like Murf.ai or ElevenLabs)
Once a video is live, it works for you 24/7, driving both affiliate traffic and ad revenue.
Digital products have zero cost to deliver — and 100% profit after creation.
Ideas:
Templates
Printable planners
E-books
Prompt packs
Mini-courses
Use Canva or Google Docs to create your product, and sell on Gumroad, Etsy, or through your own funnel.
